LAOAG CITY, Oct. 20 (PIA) -- Get ready for season 5 of the reality game show The Amazing Race Asia as it goes to Ilocos Norte.

The municipalities of Burgos, Bangui and Pagudpud in Ilocos Norte will be the show’s trail for season 5 which will be aired in next year’s episode.

The US-based reality show chose the seven great wonders Ilocos Norte for the utilization of the shows' venue.

These spots include the Kaangrian falls, Avis falls, The Cape Bojedour which is thehighest light house in Asia, the famous Kapurpurawan rock formation all from Burgos, the Patapat bridge, the beaches of Pagudpud, and the first windmills in Asia located in Bangui.

I saw plenty of instances where people tweeting from the Philippines used phil as an abbreviation for the Philippines, so I think it was in Manila, not Athens. The Midas Hotel and Casino wasn't too far away from the pit stop at the University. The sighting was an hour or so before the sightings at the University. It seems like a reasonable location for a task and the timing fits. I think it probably was TARP, but the lack of any other sightings from there does make me question it a bit. I wouldn't be shocked if it was a local race.
